I personally thought this map was outstanding, and enjoyed every minute of it! Also copied on this game-end are Tez and Kornel, the map creators in case you guys want to keep stats on it. There was some really great press too, which makes any game more entertaining. This is certainly a variant that I would consider playing in some time.

Looking at how things are now, I might have liked to see some action in the east... Rupert was 6 sc from a solo, surely gaining 6 would take quite a fight. Would that have been far enough off that he couldnt have gotten it? We will never know, at least you all felt it wasn't worth risking.

EGS's are definitely welcome and encouraged! Be sure to copy all.

Enjoy,
